Chapter 197: The Emperor's Thoughts

As we all know, the palace is such a place that it is easy for people to enter. And the harem is a forbidden area in the forbidden area, where they live in it are all imperial concubines, young princes and princesses, except for some special people and the old emperor himself, few people can enter, even if they are adult princes and princesses, without will, they are not allowed to enter casually.

The one who can enter, that one is not a great contribution to the dynasty, although Nie Ying's contribution is not small, but it is also relative, with the lineup arranged by Li Qingchu at that time, it is difficult to win the Ling Heavenly Dynasty, but it is not that there is no chance, but Nie Ying has increased this opportunity a little.

There was still such a sentence floating in the sky above the main hall, and everyone's expressions gradually changed from surprise to jealousy, even Li Yaocheng and a few others were no exception.

"Nie Ying, go in with me. The old emperor ignored everyone's expressions, slowly got up, and walked along the road next to the dragon chair.

Under the leadership of a special person, Nie Ying walked out of the main hall quickly, followed the old emperor, and walked all the way to the harem. After entering the study, it is antique, and the huge space is full of bookshelves, and the exquisite or old books are neatly placed.

Looking at all this, Nie Ying suddenly thought, "What I need, will it be here?"

"Sit. In front of Nie Ying, the old emperor didn't put any emperor's shelf, said with a pleasant face, took the opportunity to pull the chair behind the desk, and sat down first.

Nie Ying was not polite, sat down at another break, and immediately asked, "His Majesty the Emperor asked me to come here, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Sure enough, clever!" the old emperor said with a smile, "Presumably you have dealt with my five adult sons and daughters?"

Nie Ying nodded, did not answer, and waited for the old emperor's next words. After a pause, the old emperor said slowly: "Do you think that in addition to Qingchu, the other four sons, which one is the most suitable to be my successor?"

Nie Ying was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the old emperor to ask such a question, and then said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor's heart is like a mirror, you should have a plan in your heart for a long time, right?"

Hearing this, the old emperor suddenly looked a little lonely, and said in a slightly low voice: "The crown prince Li Yaoyang seems to be peaceful and kind, but in his bones he is very yearning for power. Li Yaocheng is brutal and ruthless, he should have this kind of decisiveness when he was the emperor, but he lacks judgment, and as for the rest of the sons, his mind is even worse, so I'm worried... ”

The words stopped abruptly, and when the old emperor looked at Nie Ying, he was quite hopeful. Nie Ying was a little confused, what did these things have to do with him, he wouldn't let the old emperor trust him so much just because he helped the Aotian Emperor Dynasty and say all these words, right?

Looking at Nie Ying's puzzled expression, the old emperor smiled lightly: "This is my trust in you, you don't need to doubt it, one day, I will let you know why I believe in you so much." ”

The words were unpretentious, which made Nie Ying suspicious and had no way to start, just say it, anyway, it won't involve himself?"

"Nie Ying is really extraordinary, I don't believe in mistakes. The old emperor praised approvingly, and then his words turned sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "Exactly, the person you are talking about, even I am deeply jealous now, so I have pretended to be old and mediocre for so many years, in order to let the prince fight him, so as to hone their hearts and prepare for the changes in the future." ”

Nie Ying smiled bitterly at this, the world yearns for the wealthy and nobles, but they don't know that this pool is very deep, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. After the laughter, Zhengse said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, have you ever considered that your move, instead of letting several sons grow up, it made them unable to unite together. He will be a hundred years old, and maybe a few of them will be entangled with someone and launch a fierce attack on the new king, so that it will become a good intention to do bad things. ”

"Really?" The old emperor's face suddenly sank, and after thinking for a long time, he took a breath and said indifferently: "As a child of the royal family, you should be able to accept all challenges, if you can't even do this, you are not worthy of competing for the throne." ”

"In this way, I have nothing to say, everything is in your control, so what is there to worry about?" Nie Ying felt the same way, in the family, Nie Shang didn't use this method, and said unceremoniously, what he was most disgusted with was here, after hearing these words, his voice instantly became cold.

The old emperor said in a deep voice: "Nie Ying, I hope you can help me." ”

"How can I help?"

"I will now elect a prince, and you will support him with all your strength until someone is defeated, and I will not treat you badly in the future. The old emperor said.

Nie Ying suddenly smiled evilly: "I'm very curious, why do you believe me, why do you think I have that ability, aren't you afraid that I will turn against the guest in the future and take away your Proud Heavenly Dynasty?"

The old emperor's body shook, and suddenly, in the study, a huge momentum was displayed, the shaking books whirled, and the airflow in the space was tightly pressed in one place. The essence of his eyes flashed out, and his strong self-confidence was undisguised. The body of the old dragon bell suddenly stood upright, exuding a compelling aura, at this time, he was only an emperor, in the palace, it was just a disguise.

"This body cultivation is very strong. Squinting slightly, Nie Ying sat still.

"I know you won't, because you don't have any interest in power, don't ask me how I'm so sure, anyway, I believe you. ”

Nie Ying spread his hands, leaned back on the chair casually, and said without saying anything: "It's a pity, I'm not interested in power, and I can't raise the slightest bit of energy for the so-called power struggle, so you better find someone else." ”

Hearing the refusal, the old emperor's eyes flashed, and after a while, he said: "As long as you promise me, after the matter is completed, except for the throne and the realm, all the items in the imperial dynasty, as long as you want, can be given to you." ”

"Oh, is it?" The condition made Nie Ying very excited, if he agreed, he could justifiably look for the items he needed in the palace. But the heart is moved, Nie Ying still shook his head and refused, although the fusion of exercises is important, but to let him fall into that unbearable atmosphere again, he would rather go on here.

"Nie Ying, you?" the old emperor took a deep breath and said with a gloomy face: "You should have heard Qingchu say, I have always said the same thing, don't think you... The rest of the words stopped as soon as he suddenly woke up.

Nie Ying sighed and smiled mockingly: "Brother is still brother, even the tone of speech is the same." Li Tianquan also said such things, but in the end, I was murderous, and I was not unhappy. Could it be that Your Majesty also wants to come and receive the teaching?"

Hearing this, the old emperor was not angry but happy, and laughed loudly: "Since this is the case, I will not force you, as long as you stay in the imperial city, haha." ”

Nie Ying was stunned, and suddenly understood, and couldn't help but curse secretly: "Old fox." He raised his head and said coldly, "If nothing else, I'm going back to cultivate." ”

"Nie Ying, a few princes, who do you like?" the old emperor hurriedly asked as the latter stood up.

"Li Qingchu. Nie Ying said without thinking: "Although she is not a woman, but in terms of bearing, courage, and courage, she is above the rest of the people, and it is not impossible to make her the emperor." If anyone objects, you can follow the example of the Cloud Heavenly Emperor and solve everything in this way. ”

"Yes. The old emperor thought for a while and said, "When she was a child, I said that it was a pity that she was not a man. However, as you said, it is not impossible to have the Cloud Heavenly Emperor Dynasty in front of you. Nie Ying, please take care of me in the future. ”

Nie Ying suddenly smiled bitterly, and sighed: "A woman, she will be on the cusp of the storm in the future, for Her Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing." Seeing the old emperor's firm expression, Nie Ying couldn't help but feel some pity for the woman, and his tone softened smoothly. However, there was a lot of wonder in his heart, could it be that the old emperor already had a plan in his heart to let Li Qingchu be his successor? Otherwise, why did he accept a proposal of his own so quickly?

The old emperor smiled indifferently and said in a deep voice: "I also know that this will make her live in a power struggle for the rest of her life, but as a child of the royal family, this is inevitable. Nie Ying, isn't Her Majesty the Empress of Yuntian like this?"

"Whispers of the heart?" the thoughts in my heart surged up like a tide, filling my whole head. Counting the time, I haven't seen each other for more than two years. In such a long time, Nie Ying dreamed of beautiful women more than once. However, the sudden similar situation made him think more, and also made him more deeply realize how much obstruction Xinyu had experienced to get this throne, and how much pressure he was shouldering now.

For a moment, I desperately wanted to see Xinyu and give her a solid harbor.

The old emperor seemed to see through Nie Ying's current mind, and a sly smile appeared on his old face, and after a few minutes, Fang is color said: "Of course, I believe in your ability, but I also want to remind you that that person is not easy to deal with, and I also hope that you are sincere, don't have the slightest idea, otherwise, even if you are... ”

The voice stopped again, which was not strange, but at this moment, Nie Ying obviously didn't pay attention to the old emperor's words, and just responded lightly: "What should be done, I will do it, if you don't do it, you can rest assured." Nothing else, I'll go back first. ”

"Nie Ying, you can walk around, there is also a feast in the palace at night, just for you. Looking at the figure at the door, the old emperor called.

Nie Ying, who walked to the door, waved his hand, and without saying a word, quickly disappeared from the sight of the old emperor. The study returned to its original quiet, the old emperor looked coldly ahead, and his solemn expression gradually eased down because he got the desired result, and after a while, a sinister smile appeared on his old face.

"I've been fighting with you all my life, and I didn't expect that in old age, I would actually divide the winner and loser, hehe, this must be what you are waiting for, but I'm afraid the ending will be unexpected by you. ”
